This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Amra is going to full draw and looking for the next target...

still focusing on the rear echelon from a flanking position. Psuedo, could we have a initiative up-date/synopsis?

Stumvr and Gunnar move in to capitalise on Borvr's success. Gunnar lashes out at Jhan, Stumvr at Sighard, trying to drive them back. Gunnar pushes forward suddenly with his shield, then stabs out at Jhan, while Stumvr drops the rim of his shield as he lunges for a low chop across Sighard's chest.

That's a hit. Would you care to dodge or parry, Jhan?

Stumvr on Sighard
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2717547/

Also a hit. You've got the same choice here - dodge or parry, Sighard?

Sighard goes to block Stumvrs low chop with his kite.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2718178/ Rolled 60, skill is 58. I can't use my spare reaction on this attack ether, so hit I guess? I have leather armor so my AP = 2 for when you roll damage.

Stumvrs hit glaces off the top of Sighards shield slicing him across the chest.

In retaliation the giant human strikes at Stumvr with his longsword

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2718183/ rolled 32%, skill is 58. So a hit I imagine?
Here's damage: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2718184/ 14 damage.

Following his thrust with the longsword, Sighard strikes hard with his kite shield.

Secondary shield attack against Stumvr, skill is (58%-25%) = 33. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2718186/. Rolled a 44, a miss I gather.

Engeram digs in deep with an underhand jab from his spear at Borvr.

I'm writing from my iPod so I can't copy the invisible castle codes. To strike, I rolled a 40 (with a skill of 60), and deal a glancing blow for 3 damage if it hits.

Damage for Stumvr's attack is 3, minus your armour for a total of 1 point.

I'll resolve your attack once we get to your turn, but suffice to say, Stumvr's dead unless he parries.

Jhan, it's all on you buddy. Top of the round.

Amra Will keep sights on Gelf. If it looks like he is going to enter the scrum and I have no other targets I will set bow down and draw Scimitar/shield and charge into fray. Don't know if I can get there this round...to dangerous to fire into mellee though...time for some face to face action! COOL PIX Psuedo.!

Desperately Jhan tries to twist away from Gunnar's attack, but with the amount of people around him he finds it difficult to move freely.

He feels the weapon bite and suddenly fearful swings wildly back at his new opponent but fails to connect.

The young sorcerer, seeing his allies in great danger, tries to take another shot, hoping for greater fortune than he's enjoyed so far this day...  

Bryce will try to get off another crossbow shot, if there is a decent opening. Not that it will help, as he misses yet again (roll of 86).

If Bryce cannot find a clear line of fire, he will move cautiously around the melee -- trying to keep a distance of at least 12 metres -- to find another position, perhaps flanking a foe.

Hacking blades flash back and forth in the battlefield as everyone moves in for lunges and slashes. The risk of hitting even your friends and comrades is growing worse as Borvr serves as a sinkhole, drawing everyone in towards him.

Bryce> No problem to move around it at this point. Most everyone's crowded close together in a big scrum, except for you, Amra and Gelf.

Jhan> You take 6 points of damage from Gunnar's attack.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2720735/

Gelf continues to sit this one out, clutching at his wrist.

Ok, Sighard and Engeram are up next. Sighard's attack will probably kill Stumvr unless he can block...

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2720742/

Narrow miss on the parry! Stumvr is dead!

Engeram?

No, no, my bad. I just missed it. You're wearing him down.

Amra> Drawing your weapons will be your action this turn then. Gelf is definitely out of it, especially now that Stumvr is dead. You can tell he's only a few moments from running.

Blood flows freely from Borvr's wounds, but his heart is still in the fight. He concentrates on Engeram now, changing the grip on his spear so he can strike swiftly. But his stabbing overhanded spear strike flies low, and hits the sod only a few inches from Engeram. He tries to pull it back and launch another, but has to brace himself for a moment to pull the spear free, ripping up a clump of dirt as he does so.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2724105/

It's an all-out attack, and Borvr misses twice! Luck is finally starting to go your way, guys.

Gunnar, enraged by the death of his friend, screams with bloodlust and ignores Jhan. He shoves behind Borvr towards Sighard, swinging wildly to strike the bounty hunter down. His rage has drained his skill though, and the blow are more frightening than effective.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2724111/

Another all out attack, another double miss! Gunnar is next to Sighard, standing nearly atop Stumvr's body, with his back to Jhan. He is directly behind Borvr.

Amra sets his bow down and starts to advance on the mellee as he brings his shield and Scimitar into play...
